THE PROPOSED "ALL.YEAR,, ROAD.

THE PROPOSED "AI.L.YEAR'' ROAD.
The TINES again calls the attention
of the business men of HALEY to the
urgent necessity which exists for a
road up Beaver creek, past the head
waters of that, Deer, and Willow
creeks, to Smoky. This road could
easily, and at slight expense, be kept
open the year round, and thus make
of this region an all-year country.
Heretofore it has been about five
months of summer or working season,
and seven months winter, or idle sea
son, with US. No old settled com
munity could stand such long seasons
of idleness and prosper, and that is
what is keeping this country back,
for we have the mines, the pluck to
open them, and the brains to exploit
them. All that we need is steadier
work, and facilities for uninterrupted
operations. This the road up Beaver
creek would insure for the Gold Belt
and Smoky-our main dependence
next to Bullion and Deer Creek
The TIMES is assured that, If the
road is guaranteed, the Carrie Leon
ard, King of the West, Galore
Stormy, Dollarhide, Tyrannis, Alma:
Star, and other groups in Smoky; the
HALEY Sampling Works, MoCor-
hicks Bank, and other concerns will
contribute from 800 to $500 apiece
toward its cost of construction. Will
not the business men Of HALEY move
in this matter without longer delay?

CHICAGO BELLE,

In reply to an inquiry of a Clinton
county, y. Y, subscriber concerning
the breeding of Chicago Belle, mentioned
in these columns Il few weeks since, Mr.
Wesley p. Balch states: "She was got
by Greene's Bashaw dam by Champion
Morgan; second dam by Morgan Tiger.
Champion Morgan was by Ladd's Cham
pion Black Hawk, son of Vermont Black
Hawk. Morgan Tiger was by Dernell's
Morgan Tiger, he by Sherman Morgan. -
From the subscriber above mentioned we
learn that there is an increased interest
concerning the improvement of their
section. The Morgans are gaining Il
strong foothold there. Among the rep
resentative stations of that noted family
kept for stock purposes in Clinton coun-
ty this season is Aristos g :21D, sire of
II. B. Winship (2:204 to pole, with run
ming mate 2 :0G). Some of the others
are Prince Lambert, by Daniel Lambert,
and John l., another promising member
of the Lambert family that with a little
handling last fall could show 2:3O
clip. He will be started this fall, and
ought to land in the magic circle. Then
there is the standardized stallion Bel
mont Forrest, by Belmont. dam. sue
Dudley dam of Mambrino Dudley q :204 ;
Motive, by Onward (2:25H, son of
George Wilkes, dam by Cuyler, and the
stations Kerry Cow and Alloway, both
registered. The brood mares are of
Black Hawk, Lambert, Ethan Allen and
other Morgan strains, while some are of
Hambletonian stock, which. crossed
rightly, ought to breed trotters.-[ Amer

Morgan gelding Beppo, by Clifford Nor

Suffolk trotted in :26I. This stood un-

Three years later, she reduced that to

made his 2:17t, in 1867. But in 1871,
Goldsmith Maid came along and knock
ed the chip from his shoulder, time 2:l7.
Three years later Goldsmith Maid whip

EMERY FEARNAUGHT,

In the first volume of Noted Maine
Horses, published in 1874. page 2l0 we
gave the pedigree of Emery Fearnaught
as follows:
ozark bay stallion with black name
and tail. foaled in ISIS. bred by Samuel
Il. Emery. of sanford, Me-; got by
Fearnaught Jr., formerly owned by Mr..
Paul of So. Berwick, Me-. dam Nor
gan mare"
In our recent volume we have changed
this, upon information given Us by Mr..
+. l.. NOrcross, TO got by Fearnaught
Jr.". We are convinced. however. that
this is an error. and that the horse was
really got by the horse formerly owned
by Mr.. Paul. This horse was, it appears.
first called Fearnaught Jr.. afterwards
Minokin Boy, and later and better known
as Western Fearnaught, 81. Western
Fearnaught was taken to Michigan.
where he became the sire of Lady Brow
ell. 25s, and Prince Arthur, 2:lS. 1t
seems from the evidence gathered by
Mr.. Levi 5. Gould, which appears else
where III this issue, and whom we know
well personally to be of the most accur-
ate and painstaking investigators of
of pedigrees, that the name ''Fearnaught'
as applied to this horse is misnomer.
and that he is not IA "Fearnaught" at
all but was got by a horse called Dan
vile Boy, Jr., son of Danville Boy, full
brother to Draco, by Young Morrill,.
Emery Fearnaught is the sire of F. d.,
2 :244, and has record himself of 1881.

Mr. Sucker sold him, when about 20
years old, to some one who sold him to
Phillip Giltner of Jefferson county. This
gentleman sold him to Isaac Chambers,
who sold him to Andrew Byfield of Jen-
nings county, whose property he died at
30 years of age. The season before his
death was one of the most successful he
ever made in the stud. He was remark
ably sure-was known to serve four times
a day for week at stretch and get
every mare in foal.
Suckers Rainbow was born PAGER,
never trotting step, but could not make
mile in better time than four minutes at
his natural gait. He was never shown
at fairs in his younger days. but after
reaching the age of 20 and white as snow,
was exhibited every year until he died
and never failed to win first premium as
general purpose stallion.

AMERICAN STAR-WHiCH?

E5itors TulJ. FIcH and Faym.-I send
YOU two letters. one contradicting the
other: American star was got by Stock
holm's American star. a son of Duroc.
dam by Henry. the competitor of Ameri-
can Eclipse. grandam by imp. Me>sen-
ger
This is getting back to the fountain
very direct, but the pedigree is sustained
by such circumstances a. to leave no
doubts a to its correctness.
He was bred by Esquire Berry, of
Pompton Plains. y. j.. and owned sever
al of the latter years of his life by Ed
mond Seelev. of Orange county, y. Y.
This horses history and pedigree have
been wrapped in obscurity till, at the
expense of good deal of time and
money, traced him step by step through
his whole career John II. Wallace.
November, 1870.
No man really knows how the horse
was bred and if we admit he was got by
Stockholm's star, we are no better Off,
for nobody knows anything about the
breeding of Stockholm's American Star.
No doubt he possessed more or less run
ming blood, but what that blood was has
never been discovered.
In the absence of all knowledge of the
blood elements of Seely's American
Star, there are two facts about which
there can be no mistake. He was a trot-
ting horse of marked ability for his day,
and was able to trot away below 2:40,
thoroughbred, nor is it known that he
possessed a single drop of running blood.

JOE DOWNING.
Western sportsman

Il. ". s., Mdnnondaie, Hd.-Please
give history and breeding of Joe Down
ing also breeding of Lee Paul.
AnS,cer-Joe Downing was beautiful
dark dapple bay horse, foaled 1858; bred
by James Miller, then living three miles
from Cynthiana, now proprietor of Sun
ny Side Stock Farm, two miles from Paris,
Ky; sired by AleXander's Edwin For
rest: dam Betty Peoples dam of Jim
Monroe, by Old Wagner; al dam a thor
oughbred mare owned by +. p. johnson
of Lexington, Ky. From the time he
followed his dam till his death he was
exhibited at fairs, and was never beaten
in the show ring. In the fall of 1862
1--WE believe this was the date he was
sent to the farm of X. A. Alexander,
after serving l0i mares, and given some
track work by the well known trainer
Jim Monroe, and showed a mile in 2 :35.
Joe was very high spirited horse, and
Monroe, like many other trainers of his
day, as we'll as some of the present day,
thought great deal of fast work was
necessary for horses called "high strung"
1t was no unusual thing for poor Joe
to get ten to fifteen miles of fast work in
the morning, and after one of these kill
ing drives on hot day, he was allowed
to cool off too suddenly, taking severe
cold, which came near ending his days,
and cause him to go blind. But for this
misfortune it is the opinion of those who
were familiar with his speed that he
would have been the fastest trotting

SUCKERS RAINBOW.


As we have dozen or more inquiries
with regard to the original Indiana pacing
Rainbow, we will try to answer all at
one time.
About the year 1897, some movers from
North Carolina came through Scott
county, Ind, and had with them dark
iron gray yearling colt a natural PAGER.
Not having reached the end of their
journey and becoming tired of taking the
colt with them they traded it to farmer
for two-year-old heifer, worth at that
time about IS. This farmer traded him
at two-year-old to Mr.. Sucker, farm
er of the same neighborhood. Mr.. Stuck
er broke him to work, and would have
had him castrated but for the fact that
but one testicle was in sight and in those
days they were not far enough advanced
in veterinary science to undertake the
castration of colt that did not exhibit the
regulation number of seeds. lie cOntnu-
ed to work him and allowed him to serve
mares at three and four dollars to insure
a living, healthy colt-no charge being
made if the foal proved to be a sorrel.
He was about l6 hands, very rangy,
stylish, fine name and tail and splendidlv
formed, except the hind leg was a little
crooked His colts were large, always
grays, blacks, or bays, about half of them
PAGERS. None of them were fast at the
pace but good many were speedy trot-
ting roadsters, and he was celebrated as
the sire of splendid coachers, and extra
saddlers. His colts never were noted for
speed until he was twenty years old.
Mr.. G. Byfield, then living in Jefferson
comfy, adjoining Scott, and about seyen
miles from Suckers place, informs us
that he owned large number of Rain
bows colts, among them three that could
trot in from 40 to 2 40, and handled a
good many of his saddlers-a number of
them he bred and raised.

BRANDY BOY,

From DuntOn'S spirit of the Turf
notice in your February number of
your journal that Admiral Patchen. by
George NJ. Patchen; dam Diamond State,
by Stout's General Taylor, is credited
with having sired Brandy Boy. This is
a mistake; Brandy Boy was sired by
son of Admiral Patchen, the last colt
sired by this horse. This stallion was
bred and owned by a. 6. Forwood. liv-
ing near Claymont in this State, near the
Pennsylvania line. His dam was raised
near Claymont, and was of common farm
stock. The dam of Forwood's horse was
served by Admiral Patchen, who died the
next night, of collie. There is no mistake
about this being the true state of the case.
and it can be proven by Mr.. Jetferis, who
bred and owned Admiral Patchen until
the horse died. also by Mr.. Forwood. by
Mr.. Pettitdemange, the party who bred
and owned Brandy Boy. and others.
The mistake no doubt arose from the
fact that Mr.. Forwood, who is not well
posted in pedigrees, and who did not
realize the importance of not confound-
ing names, called his horse Admiral
Patchen. Forwood's horse was never
trained; from my own knowledge of the
two horses think he had more speed
than his sire. Forwood's horse died last
fall.
Yours respectfully.

of conversation with Mr.. Il. \. Alex
ander. 1t was to the effect that the
founder of WOODBURY. had told him that
Alexander's Abdallah trotted a trial for
him in :3Oi. This is higher rate of
speed than the stallion has received cred
it for showing. Alexander's Abdallah
was bred by l.. J. Sutton of Orange coun-
ty, n. Y, and he was foaled Sept. %,
1852. He was purchased when colt by
II. Hoyt and Major Edsal for $500. and
in February, 1859. was sold by Major Ed
sail to James Miller and John Love of
Kentucky. He made two seasons at
Cynthana, was then purchased by Mr..
Alexander and died in February, 1865,
from the effects of exposure and hard
riding, he having been one of the horses
seized at WOODBURY. by a marauding band

The horse. it will be observed, was on
ly reasonably sure in Orange county.
Many of the mares mated with him were
of untraced blood, and the percentage of
performers from them was not large.
The mares of Kentucky seemed to nick
well with Alexanders Abdallah. Just as
they have done with so many other sons
of Rysdyk's IIambletonan and had the
career of the stallion not been cut short
at WOODBURY. in the closing year of the
civil war, there is every reason to believe
that his rank as sire and Il progenitor
would have been second to none in the
country. Woods Hambletonian. Al
